Freedom of Choice Vs Freedom From Choice👀

Hello once again and welcome to another week. I'm glad you could make it here despite all odds. God is still in control. I just feel the need right now to remind somebody(maybe You) that our GOD is worthy of His name.

Without further delay, I would like to discuss a matter that may or may not be sensitive to you. Essentially it's about the fallacy of the freedom that we have in Christ.

Many people believe that the freedom Christ offers is freedom from choice but au contraire it is freedom OF choice not FROM it.

What is this guy on about today? I'm talking about the fact that surrendering your life to Christ does not somehow remove or wipe away the burden and responsibility of Choice. It would be nice if as we said the sinner's prayer, sin and temptation died to us and we did not have any choice to make but THAT IS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN(not on this side of eternity for sure).

Jesus came to restore the power of choice. While a slave to sin, you had no choice. You had to yield to every urge, every impulse. When you surrendered to Christ, your power was restored through faith in Him. Everyday you will face temptation, you will have a choice to make: Honour God or honour self/flesh/the world/ the devil?🤔

You will never be free of Choice so take ownership of that power and submit it to God(esteeming Him highly in all you do)💪.
Sin was our master, Jesus changed that. You could decide to be friends with sin but I must warn you that in no time all friends of sin become slaves to it once more. Choose to be driven by love for and fear of God.

Dear Lord, we thank you for the freewill that you have given us as a means of showing our love for you, a means of worship. We want to honour you in ALL our choices. Please help us going forward in Jesus' name (amen)

Have a blessed week my friend. God bless you🤗

    By the mercies of God; we have come to the light... to know Christ Jesus as Lord and master. I have seen the light and can tell it's different from not having the light. I have made a firm choice to stay in Christ.

    We all have to be intentional about our walk with God. God never compels us to do anything. He's given us the gift of choosing what we really want. Choose wisely.

Hang In There!

Hello! It's been a really long time since I wrote anything and I'm glad to be able to bring you something from God today. Once in a while, I feel an impression on my spirit man to share a word which is as I've experienced, a word in season. This is one of those "once in a while-s". This season I just feel the need to tell you to hang in there my brother/sister. I feel very strongly the need to encourage you in WHATEVER situation you find yourself. But keep your hope to the end and you will experience life and deliverance. Matthew 24:13 TPT Brethren these are trying times for many people but we are encouraged in Scripture to hold on, to hang in there, to believe God, to believe that faithful is He that has promised, to believe that He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it. I encourage you to just trust. I know it is hard. You just finished with undergrad schooling and things are not looking up. Your "mates and juniors " see

The Following Signs 🏃🏾‍♂️

Hello there! It's a new week and I hope wherever you are reading from that you are investing in the things of the Spirit this season. Believe me, those who have and those who have not will be as distinct as night and day in the coming days. It is foolishness to have access to all that is God's and remain in the poverty that is the pleasure of the world. When last did you tell someone about Jesus? When last did you open your mouth or type to someone that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life and that NOBODY can come to the Father EXCEPT through Him.  Many believers do not remember the meaning of the word "believer" or from Whom that word in this context draws meaning.  Are you a believer? "Yes" In what/Whom do you believe? "Jesus"  Do you know what He said? "Yes" Do you believe what He said? "Yes" Do you know the implication of what He said? "Yes" With all these yeses, where is the evidence? Where is the evidence tha

Respect the Anointing

Heyyy folks, welcome to an unusual discussion at an unusual time of the week too👀. I hope your week has been good so far. I bet if anything came to mind when you saw the topic of today's post, it was "we must respect men of God" or "the anointing you don't respect cannot work for you". Those are good and true but not today's context. Today I'm asking you to respect the anointing on YOUR life. Every child of God has an anointing on their life. You are the anointed of God as long as you have professed Christ's Lordship in your life. Many christians live less than fulfilling lives because they walk ignorant of the anointing and its purpose. God wants to use us (YOU reading this and ME) for amazing things in this world: To heal the sick, raise the dead, to restore, to build, to demolish amongst other things. Many of us do not know or do not remember that we are on a mission. EVERY TIME YOU INHALE AND EXHALE, YOU OWE GOD YOUR SERVICE. Where am I
